Elevated Cholesterol Is a Risk Factor
for Cardiovascular Disease
• Elevated serum cholesterol is
associated with increased risk of
– CHD and MI
– Re-infarction
– Stroke
– CVD Mortality
• All-cause
• CHD
• Stroke
*Crude death rate (per 10,000 persons/years)
CVD = cardiovascular disease

IMProved Reduction of
Outcomes: Vytorin Efficacy
International Trial
A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized Study to
Establish the Clinical Benefit and Safety of Vytorin
(Ezetimibe/Simvastatin Tablet) vs Simvastatin
Monotherapy in High-Risk Subjects Presenting
With Acute Coronary Syndrome
Background:
Cholesterol Lowering
➢ Lowering LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has been a mainstay
of cardiovascular prevention
➢ Evidence mostly from statin trials which show reduction
in morbidity and mortality
– High-dose statins further reduce non-fatal CV events
➢ To date, no lipid-modifying therapy added to statins has
been demonstrated to provide a clinical benefit
– Fibrates, niacin, CETP inhibitors
➢ Recent ACC/AHA Guidelines have emphasized use of
statin therapy
➢ Despite current therapies, patients remain at high risk
Goals
IMPROVE-IT: First large trial evaluating clinical
efficacy of combination EZ/Simva vs. simvastatin
(i.e., the addition of ezetimibe to statin therapy):
➢ Does lowering LDL-C with the non-statin agent
ezetimibe reduce cardiac events?
➢ “Is (Even) Lower (Even) Better?”
(estimated mean LDL-C ~50 vs. 65mg/dL)
➢ Safety of ezetimibe

Conclusions
IMPROVE-IT: First trial demonstrating incremental
clinical benefit when adding a non-statin agent
(ezetimibe) to statin therapy:
YES: Non-statin lowering LDL-C with ezetimibe
reduces cardiovascular events
YES: Even Lower is Even Better
(achieved mean LDL-C 53 vs. 70 mg/dL at 1 year)
YES: Confirms ezetimibe safety profile
Reaffirms the LDL hypothesis, that reducing
LDL-C prevents cardiovascular events
Results could be considered for future guidelines
Treat to target ?
The lower LDL  the better outcome ?

  • 101.
    Background: Cholesterol Lowering ➢ LoweringLDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has been a mainstay of cardiovascular prevention ➢ Evidence mostly from statin trials which show reduction in morbidity and mortality – High-dose statins further reduce non-fatal CV events ➢ To date, no lipid-modifying therapy added to statins has been demonstrated to provide a clinical benefit – Fibrates, niacin, CETP inhibitors ➢ Recent ACC/AHA Guidelines have emphasized use of statin therapy ➢ Despite current therapies, patients remain at high risk
  • 102.
    Goals IMPROVE-IT: First largetrial evaluating clinical efficacy of combination EZ/Simva vs. simvastatin (i.e., the addition of ezetimibe to statin therapy): ➢ Does lowering LDL-C with the non-statin agent ezetimibe reduce cardiac events? ➢ “Is (Even) Lower (Even) Better?” (estimated mean LDL-C ~50 vs. 65mg/dL) ➢ Safety of ezetimibe Cannon CP AHJ 2008;156:826-32; Califf RM NEJM 2009;361:712-7; Blazing MA AHJ 2014;168:205-12

    Conclusions IMPROVE-IT: First trialdemonstrating incremental clinical benefit when adding a non-statin agent (ezetimibe) to statin therapy: YES: Non-statin lowering LDL-C with ezetimibe reduces cardiovascular events YES: Even Lower is Even Better (achieved mean LDL-C 53 vs. 70 mg/dL at 1 year) YES: Confirms ezetimibe safety profile Reaffirms the LDL hypothesis, that reducing LDL-C prevents cardiovascular events Results could be considered for future guidelines
